Un camino hacia el destino - synopsis in English
Setting: the hacienda of the Altamirano family. Fernando Altamirano (Red Gustavo), head of the family, is a widower and the father of Amelia (Lisette Morelos), the eldest daughter, and Mariana (Ana Patricia Rojo), the apple of his eyes.
Pedro Perez (Jorge Aravena) is gardener on the estate. He has secretly loved Amelia forever. But she's in love with Luis Montero (René Strickler), an ambitious young law student.
At the age of 18 Amelia gives herself to Luis and becomes pregnant. But Luis rejects her in order to marry Marissa Gomez Ruiz (Eugenia Cauduro), a widow millionaire banker. Somehow Don Fernando comes to believe the child Amelia is expecting is Pedro's - he throws both of them out of the house.
Pedro marries Amelia and for love of her assumes paternity of the child whom Amelia christens Luisa Fernanda (Paulina Goto). (Luisa for the real dad and Fernanda for the grandfather).
Luis and Marissa's wedding takes place quickly because she has to go to Spain for bank business. She ends up paying for Luis to study law in Spain.
Marissa has a son, Carlos Gomez Ruiz (Horacio Pancheri), who despite his young age is not deceived. He's always known Luis is a playboy who married his mother for money. This makes for an awful relationship between Luis and Carlos.
Years pass ... Luisa Fernanda is a beautiful young lady of 18, who is finishing high school and has two passions in life: she plays the violin beautifully though she's never studied it, and she loves gardening, which she learned from her father Peter.
A meeting led by fate makes Luis run over Fernanda, ending at the hospital where Carlos works ...

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #124 Monday, 2-22-16 The Grand Finale!!!!
We are welcomed into the finale with the vintage clip from the original novela which morphs into the present day opening and the absolutely beautiful Pedro and Fiorella's theme, Adonde va Nuestro Amor.
We are flung immediately into the gasoline-soaked foyer where the prostrate Fidel lies, still unconscious. Suddenly we see Pedro wrestling Freddie for the lighter and he seems to be having a hard time subduing her. There is an awkward edit or either I blinked for a long time but instantaneously Freddie has been apprehended by several dudes. She curses the family as she is dragged out. Everyone is there holding their noses and complaining about how the place reeks of gasoline. There is light chatter about how Freddie should have been in prison and a freshly showered Fidel is briefly scolded about the lax security. He apologizes and offers the excuse of the family emergency. Pedro excuses him. Pilar frets that Freddie will come back. The scene is rounded out as the family announces they're all going back to bed and P-yew! it smells in there. Simoneta gets to clean the whole mess up as they scurry away.
The next morning, the whole family gathers in the spic and span foyer to bid Fiorella, Pedro and Sergio arrivederci as they head off to Maretea, Italy!

El Hotel de los Secretos #19, 2/19/16 Friday: A Big Secret is Revealed
He teases her, reminding her about the 40 centimeter rule, the distance they are supposed to keep apart, she says she’s never felt so close to anyone before. (insert heavy breathing here). But what about your family, he asks. She replies that if they don’t have the capacity to see his good heart and bravery, and how strong he is, and if they can’t see that his mere presence makes her a better person, then they aren’t her family.
He said he was taken by her the first time he laid eyes on her, she’s like a drink of water after being lost in the desert. Their happiness is overwhelming. She asks of Cristina, he tells her that there are still missing pieces he needs to find, but if she is with him he can continue on with more strength to handle them. She tells him she loves every piece of him, ooohhh she said it, and she would never ask him to stop because that would be asking him to stop being himself. Awwww. They kiss again to seal the deal. (I know I’m oohing and awwing a lot, but it was so nice).

Isidro is surprised to hear that his daughter Brisa quit. Fátima tells him he now has no reason to come around.
Augusto tells Draco how he is now the only owner of Icónika which he built all by himself.

He tells Draco to prepare himself because turbulent times are coming.
Roberto wastes time with Mateo calling Gumaro and not telling him anything he wants to hear or know.
Alicia is left holding the bag with the director because Braulio did not show for the second time. The director is pissed. Alicia turns to Braulio's script and thinks about maybe using it in an ad campaign. She would not be robbing anything just taking advantage of something Braulio never would. Anyway, it would be just the same as others had done to her. Elías hears her talking to herself in her office and comes in to investigate. She does the "Elías going crazy" imitation. Liberty! Fraternity! Equality! she yells ripping off her own jacket.

El Hotel de los Secretos #17, 2/16/16 Tuesday: Isabel, You Done Me Wrong!
Deviate Diego is halted in his attempt to deflower the supposed Isable due to Dona Angela’s watchful eye. She spies him from the hallway and asks why he’s risking his reputation attempting to abuse the trust (ahem) so to speak, of his fiancée. He tells her she’s right and backs out of the room. Isa’s BFF breathes a sigh of relief--nothing a bit of well-timed snores and snorts might not have aborted, should Angie not have been lucky enough to be wandering the floors that time of night.
Andres asks Julio how he managed to be let go. “By telling the truth.” Andres admits everybody including Isa thinks he was a murderer. Well, unfortunately, it is true.” And in the old carpenter shop? “--We discovered something to do with Cristina. We found out who took her. But I can’t say anything because it will put all of us in danger, primarily, Isabela (which means he’s got full reason to blurt it all out now per tn rules, natch—and he does.) It has to do with Diego Montera – but Isabel wants to take care of him her way. I may have lost a sister but she would lose her entire family.
At Detective Ayala’s meanwhile, Isa shows the two cameos (camafeo- ugly beds??????) and explains the initials and endearment on the back of each is exactly the same. He gave the same exact one to his lover as to his fiancée—His lover was Cristina Olmedo!!! (Dun-dun-dn-dunnnnn!). Well, Ayala admits it’s a pretty caddish and tacky thing to do, but it isn’t a crime and certainly doesn’t point to murder. Ok, then look a the newpaper photo taken the night of her disappearance at the Hotel’s Lighting party. He swore he never left her mother’s side all evening and yet he’s missing from the pictures! Ok, this has finally gotten Ayala’s attention. He’ll look into it and see what can be done.
